K009, Bottom distillation residue from making acetaldehyde.
K-listed waste
Bottom distillation residue from making acetaldehyde
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K009 hazardous waste?
Yes. K009 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code T for toxicity.
K009 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test can add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing once its conditions are met. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K009 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K009 cover?
Distillation bottoms from making acetaldehyde from ethylene. The waste form and its source process must both match the K-list wording.

Are acetaldehyde distillation bottoms K009, K010 or K019?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K009 | Distillation bottoms from producing acetaldehyde from ethylene. |
| K010 | Distillation side cuts from producing acetaldehyde from ethylene. |
| K019 | Heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride in ethylene dichloride production. |
The industry, production step and waste form pick the K listing, not the chemical content alone. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, since one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
Which wastes take K009?
